Nov. 6, 1866—an account, in the London _Times_, Jan. 2, 1867, by Senor
De Fonblanque, of the British Consulate, at Carthegena, U. S. Columbia,
of a luminous object that moved in the sky. “It was of the magnitude,
color, and brilliance of a ship’s red light, as seen at a distance of
200 yards.” The object was visible three minutes, and then disappeared
behind buildings. De Fonblanque went to an open space to look for it,
but did not see it again.
